Thank you for your prayers about our meeting with the lawyer today. The meeting went very well and everything is in place for us to purchase the house in Petőfibánya. The last paper we need is a permit which allows us as foreigners to buy property in Hungary. This paper can only be obtained once a contract is signed and the money is in a holding account in Hungary. All these things are now in place and Lord willing, we should receive this permit within 60 days.

We are thankful for the ways God has opened doors to give testimony throughout this process. On Saturday while talking to Tibor (seller), we discussed the feeling of being homesick. Tibor is Hungarian but has worked in Austria for the past few years. He asked if I had trouble living in Hungary. I told him that there are good and bad things one can find in any culture, but I was happy in Hungary because of God's will for me to be here. While talking with the lawyer Irén today, she said, "I'm sure there must be reincarnation or something. It is not by chance that you guys ended up living in Petőfibánya...right?" I wasn't completely following why she brought this up, but when she repeated the word, "right?", I took the opportunity to tell her about our faith in God. It turns out that Irén has relatives that live in Rozsaszentmarton which is a neighboring village to Petőfibánya. She also invited our family to join her hiking through the mountains that lie between Petőfibánya and Rozsaszentmarton. These are new opportunites for new friendships and to share the hope in us that we have in Jesus Christ!
